TURN CERN OFF again -Stephen Hawking was right.Stephen Hawking describes the CERN as the greatest threat yet to our planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJdc3hkcCUc CERN was turned back on, on 23rd March 2015. Since then we have had 2 enormous disasters killing over 10,000 people and destroying World Heritage sites;13 earthquakes higher than 6 .0 on the richer scale, increased seismic and volcanic activity. Worse is likely to be to come. These "experiments" play "God" (particle) with all life on Earth. We the people of Earth reject them and demand these facilities cease activity immediately.327 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Ruby Paul

Stop the RBS Branch closure in InvergordonWhy is this important to us as a town? This campaign and petition has been started immediately it was announced that the Royal Bank of Scotland is going to close our local Invergordon RBS Branch. Doing this will have a devastating impact on not only our town and High street but on the elderly who are unable to travel, the disabled, the local residents as a whole who use the RBS everyday, the local businesses who use it on a daily basis. You have stated that you will not close any bank which is the last one standing in a town.......why then are closing this one? It is the last bank standing and a vital asset to the town and community! The above are just some of the reasons why we as a community can NOT ALLOW the RBS to shut our local Invergordon Branch! It is a focal point of the town for tourists and residents alike. In the cruise liner season our Invergordon branch is used by many tourists to change money and this is a service that will be denied to them and is also worth noting that we have aprox 60 million tourists enter the Invergordon Port every season! Everyone knows that a bank is a vital organ in a town especially a town such as Invergordon where if the RBS shut this one down there will be NONE! Please sign this petition and forward and share to all your friends and family. We can stop this but only if you get behind this petition and campaign!677 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Tina McCaffery

Support Food Banks at your Local Supermarket.The use of Food Banks has increased over the last 5 years, and is unlikely to decrease if and when welfare cuts bite. Without access to food banks, more people will, literally, have nothing to eat. As a society can we afford for this to happen? If collection points are available in all the major supermarkets it makes it easier for all of us just to buy a couple of extra items to donate alongside our regular shop. It also raises awareness of food poverty throughout the UK.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Edwina Lawrence

Justice for Paul Dennis Rainham North MedwayMedway Council Loses Ballots! We've spoken & written to Medway Council, had Local and National Media Coverage including ITV Meridian News but still they refuse to look into this. Outraged local election candidate, Paul Dennis, has polled an impossible zero votes in Rainham North. Standing for the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC), Mr Dennis and his supporters demand justice from Medway Council following this clearly invalid result. TUSC’s average vote across the constituency was 229 per ward. However, Returning Officer Neil Davies and Deputy Richard Hicks ruled out a re-count. Local train conductor Paul Dennis said: “This is impossible. The result sticks out like a sore thumb. I know people who have voted for me. I live in the ward and definitely voted for myself! Since the result was announced others have been on touch to say they also voted for me. So why have our votes not been counted? The council needs to answer this.” Overworked staff didn’t finish counting the General Election results for the Rochester & Strood, Chatham & Aylesford and Gillingham & Rainham constituencies until 09:30 on 8th May. Returning Officer Neil Davies demanded counters return just five and a half hours later to resume for the local elections. Mr Dennis’ agent, Alec Price said: “We’re an anti-austerity party and it appears Medway Council’s austerity policies have disenfranchised every TUSC voter in Rainham North. By overstretching staff at a chaotic count, Medway Council have failed in their fundamental duty to ensure that every vote counts. This raises serious questions about the democratic process. No-one knows how many ballots have not been counted“. This does not just affect TUSC however, if Paul is missing his votes who else might be missing theirs?917 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Andy Cocker

EU Referendum - Votes For AllThis is the biggest single political decision the United Kingdom has faced in the past 40 years and it would be morally repugnant to prevent British Citizens currently resident abroad from voting in the in / out referendum, considering the significance of the decision being made. It is estimated that somewhere in the region of 5.5 million British Citizens currently reside overseas, with nearly 2 million living in the EU. These people move abroad for a variety of reasons, work, family, health or to retire to name but a few. Many have family ties remaining in UK and, contrary to popular opinion, moving overseas does not mean these people have turned their back on the UK. Many continue to take a keen interest in news and political developments back home and despite long-term residence overseas, some continue to be UK taxpayers through occupational pensions, rental of UK properties whilst abroad or from other income derived in the UK. As the law currently stands, once you have resided overseas for more than 15 years, you lose your entitlement to vote in any elections in the UK, whether you are a UK taxpayer or not. We face the situation where many British Citizens are to be denied a say in the long-term future of the UK in relation to the EU and the rest of the world. Their voices should also be heard and rightly so.1,083 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Mike Winter

Scottish WatersUnder an independent Scotland the revenue from the oil and gas fields would enhance the Scottish budget. The pre-1999 border was already favourable to England but Tony Blair pushed through the change to maritime waters underhandedly just before devolution to Scotland, thereby giving England rights to revenue from oil and gas fields in those waters, in case Scotland pushed for independence.

Hard cash 4 Hard work.To force someone existing on welfare benefit into unpaid Work runs counter to any ideal of a humane society and its government. Whole communities have suffered as a result of ever changing economic fortune, and it falls to government to address wide spread unemployment and offer leadership and example, rather than deflecting responsibility and demonising the unemployed as being some how to blame.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ian giffiths

Grant Beryl Larkin a lifetime occupancy of her static caravanIf lifetime occupancy is not granted and Beryl's home as it has been for the past 20 years is removed or destroyed, Beryl will be forced to find alternative accommodation. At the age of 71 it is unacceptable for any Council to put a tax paying pensioner through such stress and suffering.1,318 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ceri Evans

Let Coventry residents decide whether or not they should be part of WMCACoventry City Council is supporting the proposal that it, alongside other Warwickshire councils in Coventry and Warwickshire’s Local Enterprise Partnership, joins the Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP and Black Country LEP to form a West Midlands Combined Authority (this has been confirmed as the name of the CA). Despite the fact that many residents have concerns about Coventry playing very much the second fiddle to Birmingham, as it did in the old West Midlands County Council days, our Council is not intending to canvas the opinion of residents through a referendum. I do not believe that such a decision about the City, which will have an impact for decades ahead, should be made without full consultation and an extensive and public discussion of all the pros and cons.4,286 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Rachael Bermingham

Bin Katie HopkinsIt's important because for too long the media have given in to people who thrive and create careers from spewing hate. If we can get LBC and Global radio to come to their senses then we can send a message out to all broadcasters. Let's show the media and broadcasters that we are fed up with people who thrive on negativity and hate.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Hemphill
